Timber pergolas warp and split in this climate. Building the same design in aluminium or steel keeps the blade line straight for the life of the structure and lets the posts sit on a much smaller footprint for the same span.
The details worth paying for are the ones that stay hidden — concealed rainwater routing down the posts, wiring chases for lighting and fans, and blade end caps that stop the whole assembly rattling when the wind picks up.
Set-angle aluminium or steel blades sized to give the required shade fraction across the day.
Rotating blade systems that close to a weather-tight roof and open for ventilation, with remote or wall control.
Gutter profiles integrated into the perimeter beam and discharged internally through the columns.
Wiring routes, junction boxes and mounting points built into the frame during fabrication.
Retractable side blinds, zip screens and privacy louvres added to the same frame where wind or overlooking is an issue.
Marine-grade powder coating over pre-treated aluminium for long colour retention under direct sun.
Aluminium will not rust and suits pool decks and coastal villas. Steel is stiffer and better for long spans and heavier louvre roofs. Both work here; the deciding factor is usually the span and whether the frame sits in splash zone.
Yes. Fixed slat, adjustable louvre and motorised roof pergolas are all fabricated and installed by our teams, including the drainage detail that keeps rain running off the beam line rather than through it.
That comes down to expansion detailing. We size the frame and its fixings for thermal movement at UAE summer temperatures, so joints do not lock up and pull the structure out of square.
We fabricate pergola structures in our own workshop and install with our own crews, so a site in Abu Dhabi or Ras Al Khaimah gets the same survey, the same shop drawings and the same finish as a site in Dubai.
